Chapter 613: Stepping on Mines
The abyss was finally completely driven away, whether it was the final boss who came from the rear to expand the territory and eliminate potential dangers such as Nangong Rong by the way, or the main force that retreated from the front line and tried to turn the situation with all its might, they had to retreat in embarrassment, and even one goal was not completed, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over the heads of the young man and others all had finally dissipated at this moment, and a large piece of golden sunlight sprinkled on the ground could already be seen from the sky.
Well, that's pretty much the mood. Although Nangong Rong watched the abyss monsters around the alliance fleet flee in a hurry under the leadership of the Four Heavenly Kings in a physically and mentally exhausted and weak state, the bad state could not affect the young man's mood at the moment, and he even wanted to dance a dance to celebrate, even if he was ridiculed by others for his clumsy and stupid actions.
After all, from today onwards, Nangong Rong and the others no longer have to worry that their hometown may be attacked by the abyss at any time, and there will be no small-scale investigation and harassment, and they will be completely safe in the true sense.
Of course, the premise of this safety is that the alliance will not be pushed back by the abyss in the next layer of advancing operations, otherwise the wonderful retreat drama staged by the abyss in the past few days will be transferred to the young man and his party to be re-enacted, and no one will want this kind of thing to happen.
Therefore, when the abyss retreated, the blonde side ponytail tried to lead people to let the other party leave something as a souvenir, but the enemy and the fleet were too close, and when the abyss wanted to escape, the alliance could not effectively block them at hand, because the battleship could not exert any firepower advantage at this distance. In the end, the alliance left only a small part of the trash fish, and the rest fled without a trace.
The Alliance fleet did not choose to pursue the enemy, the organized troops were not terrible, what really hurt people's brains were those stragglers who were scurrying around like headless flies, who knew if there were scattered abyss monsters nearby that had lost their commander, and it would be bad if places such as the Razfield plane, which did not have many troops stationed when the fleet ran to pursue the enemy, were attacked by these monsters.
The empire and Lin Weiyin's hometown aside, the elven clan and Nangong Rong's clansmen who were clearing the wasteland could not afford this kind of attack.
So, after joining up with several detachments that had returned in a hurry, the Coalition fleet commander left only a few small boats to patrol the vicinity, while the main force returned to the base to wait for the day. This decision did allow the fleet to quickly attack in the days that followed, and dealt with a number of stragglers who tried to take advantage of the autumn wind while passing by Razfield and other planes, but they could not wait to deceive the alliance by pretending to be the main tactic of the abyss, and the other party may have made a detour.
However, these battles have nothing to do with Nangong Rong, and the young man is now busy leading his people to open up fields in their new homeland. You must know that a certain Shi Aotian also started to develop from a village that is still intact in all aspects, and the teenagers started from scratch.
Even with some assistance, and even a dedicated engineering team helping to build the housing, there is still an embarrassing situation where there is too much to do but too few people to do. So Octavier has often run here when she has nothing to do in the past few days, bringing some people over to help, and at the same time chatting with Nangong Rong to enhance her relationship or something.
Today was no exception, but unlike the other day, Octavir brought two maids with her this time, in addition to the staff in charge of chores. After all, this town that is still under construction is like a ruin destroyed by an earthquake, and the eldest princess can't even find a suitable table and chair if she wants to have lunch with her lover, and finally borrows the spell of the elves near the town to make a quick lawn, how can she bear it?
Therefore, it is very necessary to bring two maids who have placed tables, chairs, tableware, and all kinds of delicious food and drinks in the space equipment, it's not that Octavir can't accept the environment of this [ruin] town, but if you sit on the lawn and eat every day, it doesn't seem to hurt to occasionally get a relatively formal and elegant way of eating.
Originally, after arriving, Octavir planned to let the two maids go to the lawn and set up tables, chairs, meals and drinks for her to rest with Nangong Rong and the others, but after seeing the situation in front of her clearly, the girl was so shocked that she forgot everything.
Or it can be said that I am so embarrassed that I don't know what to say.
The engineering team sent by the alliance was only responsible for helping to build the houses, and the work of clearing the fields had to be completed by Nangong Rong and his people. Even with the help of elven magic, you have to carve out the fields before you can grow crops and use spells, do you really think that you can just sprinkle some seeds and water the land and then recite a few lines in the middle and second lines to clean up the farmland?
So the boy went down with most of the young men, at least for the last few days, and every time Octavir found him, he would make the handkerchief he had with him dirty, unless the fellow had not put dirt on his face while working.
Octavier thought that it would be like this today and specially asked the maids to prepare washbasins, towels and other things, but after the eldest princess came here, she soon found that Nangong Rong was lazy?
Not only did this guy not go to the fields to work in the field, but he also helped the engineering team in the town, and he found a random stone pier to sit on it, holding in his hand a plastic cup he bought from the supermarket of his cheap sister's hometown, and the cup contained some kind of freshly squeezed juice, and was leisurely and happy there with his legs crossed.
After staring at Nangong Rong for a long time, Octavier, who was embarrassed and full of black lines, decisively and quickly turned around and put on a posture of raising his feet and leaving: "I'm sorry, I made the wrong set." ”
The boy almost choked on a mouthful, and quickly coughed a few times to clear his throat and opened his mouth to try to stop the eldest princess: "Wait, wait, Taver." You must have done this purely on purpose, right??And I'm just lazy occasionally, why did I get it wrong on the set!?Besides, you were looking at those things with an expression full of amazement, why did you act like you didn't see them in a blink of an eye?"
"Because it always feels like you are in a state that doesn't fit in with the world around you. Of course, Octavir couldn't really just leave, and the boy stopped immediately before he could speak, "However, it's really a shame that you can think of this method, who inspired you?"
The fields outside the town, as well as the construction sites inside the town, are filled with the figures of humanoid puppets made of busy mud. Especially on the other side of the field, almost all of them are puppets, few of them can gasp at all, and most of the people are busy building their own houses in the town to get rid of the tents as soon as possible, and the construction site is full of enthusiasm.
This is not surprising, although the heroic spirits residing in Nangong Rong's body are all elite soldiers, they also need tuntian fields like other miscellaneous troops in the era they live in, and these guys are not difficult in terms of farm work at all. So the boy didn't hesitate to let them work in the fields as elemental puppets, as for where the inspiration for this came from......
"Well, it's mainly because one of the forklifts in the Alliance-supported engineering team had a seemingly serious failure in the morning and couldn't be repaired in a short period of time, so the driver came over and asked my whole mechanical puppet to finish the work for him, and then there was no more. ”
Nangong Rong's face was full of embarrassment when he talked about this, looking like a bear child who realized that he had done something wrong, which made Octavier feel inexplicable: "What's the matter, I think you can think of a way to use a puppet like this is already very good, why does it seem that you don't look emotional?"
"I was just thinking about what kind of stupidity I was making a few days ago, I didn't know how to work with a puppet but went to the scene in person to be busy, and my IQ was simply eaten by a dog. Nangong Rong sighed deeply with his hand on his forehead, full of salted fish shape, "It's not that I don't like labor, it's just that there are so many free laborers but I don't use them, which can't be described as wasteful." ”
"Indeed, if you have a puppet to help you with the work these days, it would be a waste if the field was at least half completed, not to mention that all the land has been cultivated. Octavir only shrugged her shoulders lightly, and didn't try to persuade the teenager, because it wasn't necessary, "But since it's already wasted, don't continue to dwell on it, just make up for it." Let's not mention these things, since you are rarely free today, accompany me to the lawn for tea and chat. ”
Recalling what she did a few days ago when she pulled the eldest princess with a black thread to work in the field (the key is that even if the girl was obviously unhappy, she finally agreed), Nangong Rong was embarrassed and naturally couldn't refuse the girl's proposal: "No problem, you have the final say today." ”
Octavier finally got her wish and enjoyed the idyllic scenery in a more literary way, instead of tying her skirt high, stepping into the dirt with her bare feet and waving the farm tools in her hands. Although the eldest princess was not very happy to work in the field, she was not disgusted by it, not to mention that after she did this, the clansmen around Nangong Rong slowly recognized and accepted the girl, but the point is that this has nothing to do with the romantic date of the wind and snow, okay!?
Now that the eldest princess's two maids had set up tables and chairs on the lawn, and had even erected a huge parasol, it was much more attractive than the rough stone pier on which someone was sitting.
"It's getting bigger. After taking his seat, Octavir held the teacup while looking at the embryonic town in the distance, and sighed to Nangong Rong, "I thought you would spend more time, after all, unlike the elves who wander with the city, you have nothing in your hands. ”
The young man looked at the eldest princess with the same emotion on his face: "Yes, the first few days were really miserable, thanks to the tent you sent, otherwise everyone would have to sleep in the open." But is this really good, there must be many refugees in need of tents on the Empire's side. ”
"If you're referring to those who have moved back to the land previously occupied by the Abyss, it doesn't matter, they haven't left yet, because the Coalition has been busy with other things and hasn't finished purifying the eroded soil, water, etc. ”
Since the tents planned for the plan had never come in handy, it was only natural that Octavir had chosen to transfer them to Nangong Rong, who needed them even more. And this also reversed the bad negative image of the eldest princess in the hearts of the young people, otherwise she would not have the opportunity to accept the invitation of the little one to work in the field and gain everyone's recognition, but I am afraid that she will be smashed back by eggs and tomatoes before she shows up in the town.
Nangong Rong and Octavier had a tacit understanding of this matter, and no one mentioned it, and the young man even took the initiative to change the topic: "Then it's okay." Then again, how many more days do you think we can enjoy on a leisurely day like this?"
It was impossible for the Alliance to leave the boy behind and let him use his special abilities like this, that could not be described as wasteful. As the eldest princess just said, the alliance has been busy with some things lately, and it can't even take care of cleaning up the abyssal erosion around the Razfeld plane base, and the teenager dares to bet with all the discipline in his life that they are definitely not prepared to help with the infrastructure.
"Stephanie told me that in the last two to three days, the Alliance will be able to complete all the preparations and launch a large-scale all-out attack on the Abyss. Octavier pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, obviously not very happy to see Nangong Rong bring up such a serious topic, "You are so anxious to make trouble for the abyss?"
"No, I'm just worried about whether I'll be able to help you build a new home before you're drafted. But today, let me take a breather. Nangong Rong said and picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, and then quickly changed to a stunned expression and said in surprise, "Wait a minute, why does this cake taste so strange, your royal pastry chef has asked for leave so he changed people temporarily?"
The two maids who were standing nearby to serve the two of them couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle when they heard this, knowing that this was quite an impolite behavior, but the strange thing was that instead of putting on an ugly face at the two, Octavir lowered her head and blushed.
Well, maybe the eldest princess wasn't just shy, because Nangong Rong also saw very clearly the large black thick mist that quickly gathered behind the girl.
"Well, did I say something wrong?" The embarrassed young man deliberately ignored the very strange eldest princess, turned his head to look at the maid next to him, and asked cautiously, "Or did you accidentally step on some kind of landmine?"
"Yes, Lord Nangong Rong, you did step on a landmine. Because, this cake is made especially for you by His Royal Highness. ”
